Ranger 18/1/1 Race Question

[z0mbyjr]

Currently, I only have access to 28 pt builds on the server I'm planning on rolling an 18 Rgr/ 1 Rog/1 Mnk on.
For better melee DPS, should I do human with Khopesh, or Drow with Rapiers*, or Dwarf with Dwarven Axes*, or Elf with Scimitars/Longswords/Rapiers?

*Due to Racial Damage Enhancements. Which will be better for DPS?

Buy or work for 32-point builds before you make a ranger/monk/rogue.

I'd personally recommend the drow initially if you cannot do this since they are similar to 32-point builds. While the human with khopesh is going to be superior DPS when built properly, a 28-pointer without the resources of an older account will make it very difficult to do this. Not only will your build points be spread thin, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to get a hold of the appropriate weapons quickly.

It's much easier to equip with one of the martial weapon choices than it is with the much more rare and popular khopesh. This stops being a problem once you've crafted a couple of nice green steel sets, but I am assuming that this will take you quite a while.

Another major benefit of the human is the survivability of his healing amplification enhancements. The points other races must spend on their weapon enhancements can be spent here for a human. So as I said originally, I would wait for 32-point builds before I made a character like this.

Okay. Thanks.
